• Drying: Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent moisture damage to the wood.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Storage: Store the play kitchen in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can cause fading or warping.
